👩🏽‍🍳🍾Celebrating 6 years in business today, and I’m beyond grateful for the journey that got me here!
It all began in 2008 as a college student working as a hostess in Jackson, Mississippi. After graduating, I started managing restaurants in Mississippi, Louisiana, and eventually landed in Georgia, where I worked to executive chef. When COVID hit, I pivoted, taking a leap of faith to follow the dream God instilled in me as a little girl—to create unforgettable culinary experiences. Competing on the last season of Hell’s Kitchen was an incredible milestone, but my greatest joy has been working with everyone from everyday families to celebrities.
Growing up in East St. Louis, I knew there was a bigger picture, and every step has brought me closer to that vision. 🧡💙
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way—your love, trust, and belief in me have meant the world. Here’s to many more years of chasing dreams and creating memories! 🙏🏾👩🏽‍🍳💛

🎬 Grateful for the opportunity to cater for the cast & crew of this new Netflix series. Had a moment with one of the actors who reminded me: sometimes the jump is scary, but the rewards are always worth it.
